What paint code is my car
Here is a picture of it. I know its a factory color since I see many like it. But this car was originally red. If any one has a car of this color or knows what paint code it is I would like to know. THANKS

Your best bet would be to go to a place that sells Automotive paint, and start looking through their books...
Being that its not the original color, there is no way to tell from the pic, although it may look like another cars color, you really do not know, If you were to just look at the White color swatches for a group of 5 years, I would almost bet there are 30 different colors of White, between the manufactures GM, Ford, Chrysler, Honda, Toyota, etc...

That is usually how you figure out what color to paint a car, unfortunately someone painted it another color, and I think he wants to keep the gray color.

Well Im only worried about GM. Its a factory color so I was hoping someone with the same color car and year could give their numbers.

So, what if it's not a GM color? What if it's a Jaguar or a Daihatsu color? It could be anything. There's no law of physics that says only GM colors will fit on a GM car you know.
The best you can do is go to a paint store and try to match it the closest you can; and once you've done that, then you'll know what paint code it's real close to.
